Description amanda.l.hazel 2019-12-18 14:14:22 UTC
Description:
I am a freelance paralegal and work with several attorneys to draft legal documents. 

I frequently need to highlight certain sections of the documents for the attorney to review. As a fan of keyboard shortcuts, it would be extremely helpful to have a keyboard shortcut to activate the highlight feature. In MS Office the shortcut is CTRL+ALT+H if you have text selected.

Actual Results:
I have attempted to create a keyboard shortcut in TOOLS >CUSTOMIZE >KEYBOARD to make highlighting text easier (and without using the mouse). None of the shortcut keys accept the highlight function; even after saving the shortcut, exiting and restarting the program. Under the list of "shortcut" keys CTRL+ALT+H does not have any feature or function currently assigned.

Expected Results:
I would like the software to have a keyboard shortcut to highlight text without using the mouse to click on the highlight button on the toolbar.


Reproducible: Always
